Reading From Home (RFH)

Ever since this pandemic hit, I have had the ability to work from home. I consider myself extremely lucky to be able to say that as others are not as fortunate. I have been staying with only a few select people seen on the regular/semi-regular and have been using my bits of free time to [...]

Well Past Due

Last year was a big year for me and books. I was inspired by a friend who had put her reading challenge at 52 books - basically a book a week. I usually would set mine a bit lower, say in the 20's or 30's. What really changed last year was my embrace of the [...]

What a whirlwind!

What is a weekend?

Mindful Monday.

Well, well, well... April has finally come and is halfway over! I cannot believe how quickly this year is going this far! It has also been a while since I have made time to write anything down. It has been quite a busy time with work, both jobs that is, and planning my upcoming little [...]

New Mini-series Monday!

Phew! What a stressful last couple of weeks. I was out of commission due to a family emergency as well as getting sick on top of that, but that didn't stop me from starting a new series over this past weekend. I kept seeing a trailer on Netflix (or more so they kept reminding me [...]
